An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.
But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?
Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

The Republican Party changed not on account of Bush, but on account of Fox: the creation of an ever-expanding media bubble that conservatives could opt to live inside, where their every fantasy was indulged as true. This bubble was created as an instrument of movement conservatism, but consumed it.
Like virtually everyone else , Will forgets that Trump in fact ran for president prior to 2016, and barely registered. In fact what happened in between that the Republican Party fundamentally changed and most of that is on account of Bush.

ICE snatched a human rights hero.
Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices.
On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-who-fi...
